plante 0 #1 September 17, 2012 so i have this friend i jump with who always asks me to pack for him and its kinda annoying. i packed his parachute for him at lost prairie (while he was at the lake) and put a ton of flour and pancake mix in it. it didnt hit him when it opened (obviously) and i wanted to know if anyone has every done a successful powder bomb before. i need tips so it will actually hit him this time. or just stuff that i can put in his parachute that will be funny, that he will notice and of course- the most safe for him and his gear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,590 #2 September 17, 2012 Nothing new. The stories I got from guys who did it were about *round* canopies.And don't forget packing strips of toilet paper in between the folds, so he can look up and see (apparently) parts of his canopy drifting away.

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #3 September 17, 2012 I'd be pissed if anyone fucked with my canopy in ANY way. That being said.... My Dad had a 1939 (?) Ercoupe, which made for awesome father/daughter bonding time while low passing the police department where he was a cop and dropping out 5 pound bags of flour on the building and parking lots. Ahhhh.... the good old days. He'd be in prison now for that shit. He was awesome. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No rudder pedals, rudders connected to the control yoke.

riddler 0 #9 September 18, 2012 Then your friend has a bad jump, the canopy is inspected and determined that it was tampered with. Next question the police have is "who packed this here 'chute?"Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't be dick of the week on Tosh.O Yup...filling one of those fold-over sandwich baggies with flower and packing it into the bottom side of the slider so it comes down and blows up on the jumpers head should NEVER be done!

But yes...the video was absolutely priceless! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
